Chapter 28

Author: Summer Blossom
"How's the soup? Is it good?" Sharon looked at Edward expectantly.

She had the soup ordered and delivered from a restaurant. So, she was confident that he would be satisfied with the taste.

"It's delicious. You have excellent cooking skills," Edward remarked after having a sip.

Truthfully, he found the soup to be quite oily and salty. It tasted like something a regular restaurant would make.

Edward much preferred Macie's cooking, which tasted lighter on the palate. Her dishes were different from the food that was prepared outside.

"You should have some more if it's to your taste. I can make it for you every day," Sharon said chirpily.

When Edward heard Sharon's offer to make soup every day, he quickly said, "I'll help bring over your personal documents tomorrow. You can stay in one of the hotels owned by Fowler Group. No paparazzi would dare follow you there."

Sharon bit her lip hard. Yet, she was smiling again two seconds later. "Alright. Thank you, Edward."

    Hence, Sharon instructed Rebecca to move Macie's things out of the room. Although she did not get to stay in the master bedroom, Sharon found it satisfying to have kicked Macie out of her own room.Edward furrowed his brows as he watched them move Macie's belongings. He entered the room and noticed Rebecca trying to pry open a drawer. He went over to help.Men were physically stronger. After a few tries, Edward managed to yank the drawer open with his brute force. Even the metal parts of the lock were bent out of shape.Only a notebook with a light blue cover was placed in the drawer.Edward picked up the notebook and flipped to the first page. He instantly realized what the notebook was."Only those with secrets would write diaries," Edward snickered. He was about to flip to the next page when a hand reached over from above his head and snatched the notebook away."You shouldn't be reading a woman's diary. I'll help May keep it somewhere safe."Edward pursed his lips. He stared

    Nathan deduced that Edward cared about Macie a lot. Yet, he couldn't understand why Edward was fooling around with another woman, to the point of bringing his mistress back to his home.Nathan ordered the meals for Macie. However, he was savvy enough to tell her that the order was placed by the Fowler family and not Edward.He worried that Macie might just flush the food down the toilet if she knew who it was really from.At the hospital, Macie ate those meals. She figured that it was most likely Yosef's idea since they were from the Fowler family.However, Macie furrowed her brows. She wondered if Edward had told Yosef that she had been admitted to the hospital.Strangely, she did not receive any new messages from Yosef. Macie did not send him any messages either since she would probably have to share details about her injuries.Macie spent her days leisurely. During the day, she watched tutorial videos or worked on her sketches. She had enough practice to ensure that she could

    Two incidents happened on the day Macie Smith decided to get a divorce.Firstly, Edward Fowler's first love, Sharon Emerson, returned to the country. To celebrate the occasion, he spent a fortune to rent a cruise, where he spent two wild days and nights with her.The media widely covered the rumors of them potentially getting back together.Secondly, Macie had accepted the invitation of a college senior to rejoin the company they had founded before as a director.She would leave this place after a month. Naturally, no one cared about her plans. To Edward, she was akin to a maid who had married into the Fowler family.During this time, Macie quietly removed all traces of her in the Fowler residence. She bought a flight ticket out of the city without anyone knowing.In three days, nothing here would concern her anymore. She and Edward would become strangers.…"I need two portions of soup. Get it delivered now."A text notification popped up on Macie's phone. She frowned at Ed

    Edward left in great strides, holding Sharon in his arms. When he walked through the door, he accidentally bumped into Macie's shoulder, causing her to stumble and fall down beside the door frame.The searing pain coming from the top of her foot and her shin made her hold on tightly to the door frame.People in the room shot her funny looks. Some looked on with disdain.But that didn't matter to Macie anymore. She slowly got up and turned around. Holding onto the wall, she inched out of the room with much difficulty.When Macie arrived at the hospital, the nurse who approached to treat her wound inhaled sharply upon seeing the injury on Macie's foot.She took in the massive and tiny blisters around Macie's wound, gasping, "Oh my God! How did this happen?"Macie clenched her jaw from the excruciating pain. Her cheek muscles were sore, and she struggled to answer the nurse.The nurse sighed while applying the medication. She explained, "Just now, we had a patient with burns. Her b

    Edward paused in surprise and pursed his lips. He stared ahead of him but ultimately said nothing.Macie listened to the conversation between him and Sharon. A mocking smile was played on her lips. She might be Edward's legal spouse, but in reality, she felt like the third wheel between Edward and Sharon.Edward walked on while Sharon trotted beside him. Macie did not want to interact with Sharon, but that didn't stop the latter from stirring up trouble."May, it must have hurt. I'm so sorry. Edward had sent me to the hospital first because he was worried about the impact on my career. I hope you don't blame him," Sharon said.Smirking, Macie replied flatly, "I don't blame you. You're the most important person to him."Although Macie was speaking the truth, it sounded like she was taking a jab at Edward. Displeased, he fired back, "What's with that tone? Even if Sharon was the one who lost her grip on the container, you were also responsible for not securing the lid."Macie did

    It was 11:00 pm when Macie got home. She didn't keep the lights in the living room on because she knew that Edward might spend the night with Sharon elsewhere. He wouldn't come home.She carried the first-aid kit and hauled her pain-ridden body to her small bedroom.Her two-year marriage was just a sham. Edward saved himself for Sharon and refused to let Macie anywhere near his main bedroom.When she thought back to it, she realized that it wasn't that bad after all. She'd be disgusted with herself if Edward took her.She quickly disinfected the wounds on her elbow and the back of her feet. When she was done, she was too spent to even store away the first-aid kit. She left it on her bedside table, thinking to put it away the next morning.She changed into her pajamas and lay in bed. Pain shot up from the base of her spine as she shifted, forcing her to inhale sharply.She softened her movements. Eyes closed, she shut all the thoughts out of her mind. Soon, she grew drowsy.Meanw

    Macie had almost fallen asleep, but she stirred awake and frowned when Edward banged on the door.She got up and turned on the lights, her brows furrowed. Then, she limped to the door.Edward's fist hit the air when she opened the door."Mac—""Why are you home, and why the heck are you banging on my door at midnight?" she snapped at him impatiently.Her attitude fueled his anger further. He immediately grabbed her arm and yelled at her, "What's with that question? Can't I return to my house?"Macie's impatience immediately vanished. Instead, she lowered her head and looked upset.At first, Edward thought that she had caved in from being intimidated, but she reached out to take his hand off hers. At that moment, he sensed something amiss. He released her hand and spotted blood on his palm.It turned out that he had hurt her wound by squeezing her arm too hard.Macie stared at the man before her through tears. He had caused a scene in the middle of the night."Are you hurt?"

    Edward didn't sleep well through the night. His stomach had become sensitive, and even medication only provided slight relief. It was far from recovery or comfort.He woke up early before the alarm rang. As he stepped out of his room, he nearly collided with Macie, who was leaving her room that was just across the corridor."What are you doing?" he asked instinctively."Making breakfast," Macie replied flatly as she stumbled toward the kitchen.Edward stood frozen in place. He had always woken up and had breakfast without paying attention to who prepared the meals. It never occurred to him that she had been waking up at 5:00 am every morning to cook.Watching her slightly unsteady figure, he said, "You don't have to."Macie stopped in her tracks and turned her head back.For two years, she had attended to Edward. She had to get up and cook even when she had a fever. He had tormented her in every possible way. This was the first time he had told her that she didn't have to cook.

    Even though the news articles were quickly taken down, Yosef had learned of what had happened. He called from the Fowler residence early in the morning and yelled at Edward furiously.Edward was on his way to work. He quietly listened and did not talk back while Yosef scolded him harshly."Macie is such a nice woman. Do you not feel guilty toward her at all? Do you not appreciate all the sacrifices she's made in the past two years?" Yosef felt so frustrated with his grandson.Edward pursed his lips."Sacrifices? Just because she's prepared our meals? She used the washing machine to wash our clothes and the robotic vacuum cleaner to clean the floor. I was the one who had to look after her during the past two years. What's more, she's utterly ungrateful. She even slapped me yesterday," he thought."If you really can't appreciate her efforts… I hope you won't regret this someday. There's only two weeks left—" Yosef continued.Edward cut him off since his patience was running out. "I

    Edward helped Sharon regain her footing. Just then, one of the straps of her top slid off her shoulder.From his angle, Edward could see Sharon's deep cleavage. The red marks he had left on that part of her skin last night were still visible. Yet, the top that Sharon was wearing… belonged to Macie.At that moment, Edward felt as though he was caught cheating right before Macie's eyes. His palms grew numb, and he instantly turned his face away."Edward, can you hold onto my left arm? I want to wash my face." Sharon looked up at him.Edward helped wring out a wet towel and passed it to Sharon. After wiping her face, Sharon tried to support herself by holding onto the sink."I'm done now. Thanks. You can go…"Before she could finish her sentence, Sharon was about to fall again, but Edward was prepared this time. He grabbed her by the waist and caught her effortlessly."You shouldn't push yourself. You need to be mindful of your foot injury," Edward said.Sharon gripped his arms an

    Macie bit her lip as she remembered about the diary. She blamed herself for not tearing it to bits or setting it on flames beforehand. However, she figured that Sharon probably would not be able to find it since the diary was locked inside a drawer.She eventually calmed down. When she was about to turn off her phone, a notification window for a news article popped up on the screen. The title read, "The Fowler Family's Next Successor Rushes Onto the Stage for a Model During a Fashion Show."Macie stared at the screen for a brief moment.The Fowler family's next successor… She figured that the media could only be referring to Edward with that title.Her gaze fell on the word "model" next. When she came to her senses, she noticed that she had tapped on the link for the news article.A photo was displayed above the article. Edward was carrying a woman in his arms. That person buried her face in his chest. Macie recognized that it was Sharon just by looking at her side profile.Her f

    "What should I do, then? I left my personal documents in my luggage. I won't be able to stay at other hotels…" Sharon sounded lost and helpless."You can stay at my place," Edward suggested.Sharon paused for a split second. She lowered her head and replied meekly, "That's not a good idea. I don't want to see you and May argue because of me again.""She has no right to decide that. That's my apartment. I decide who gets to stay in my own home," Edward said monotonously.Her cheeks were still wet with tears as she tried to politely decline his offer. However, he ignored her refusal and took her back to his residential area.They got into the elevator and went to the floor where Edward's place was. Sharon followed behind him. With her finger, she wiped off the foundation applied to her neck to reveal her hickey.The door was opened. Sharon thought she would immediately see Macie, but the place looked quite empty. She briefly scanned the living room and softly asked, "Is May already

    "You can contact my assistant and let him know if you suffer any losses for tonight's show," Edward said.The director's eyes instantly lit up. He liked speaking to someone like Edward, who was generous and straightforward. He smiled slightly."We won't suffer huge losses because of a minor incident like that. Besides, we should have considered the possibility of accidents like this happening too. Ms. Emerson can join our fashion shows again once her injury is healed. I'll always have a place for her."Edward rose to his feet. He gave the director Nathan's business card nonetheless. Then, he helped Sharon get up from the chair.When he noticed Sharon limping and swaying slightly, Edward picked her up in his arms again. Sharon looped her arms around Edward's neck and leaned against his shoulder, looking rather shy.Meanwhile, the reporters had gathered outside the exit a while ago. They managed to take photos of the pair as soon as they emerged from the building.Sharon seemed fri

    In the hospital ward, Macie had a slight frown on her forehead. She did not think much of Edward's final remark. As she switched to another app on her phone, Macie noticed that Edward had transferred some money to her account.The transferred sum was 30,000 dollars, and he left a remark stating that it was money for her surgery.Macie transferred the money back to him at once. Even if she did not return it now, Edward would probably ask for the money back when they proceeded with the divorce later on.Sitting in the first row, Edward noticed that Macie had sent the money back to him. He sent her a message asking about it and received a reply."I won't need surgery, so I don't need the money."Edward responded. "You're staying at the hospital for a few days, right? Use the money for the hospital fees."Macie typed another response."The hospital fees won't cost that much. I can afford it."After sending the message, Macie turned off her phone and tossed it aside.Meanwhile, Edw
